I love having this resource for food, spiritual healing, and energy in one place! A great reference to refer back to time and time again. This contains a lot of great recipes and easy to understand illustrations for learning chakras. Great for beginners and advanced followers who are interested in spiritual healing and self care. A full comprehensive resource that's relatable to all. I can't wait to buy a copy for myself and to give as a gift. Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book. Feed Your Chakras will be released on May 21, 2024.

Feed Your Chakras is a very interesting book which is full of lovely photos of the dishes which I always like. It is good to see what you might be making!
There is lots of information with each recipe about the benefits of the dish and it’s ingredients which I found very interesting.
Lots of delicious sounding recipes which use accessable ingredients, one I want to try is the ‘Matcha frozen yoghurt bark’.

I love reading about mind/body connection stuff already, so this pick was an obvious choice for me! And there are beautiful, colorful recipes in it.
The author walks you through all of the 7 chakras individually, and gives you ideas for foods, yoga poses, crystals, scents, and affirmations that could go with each one.
There is a strong emphasis on "eating the rainbow" here - since each chakra is associated with a different color - but the book is not inherently touting any specific diet. This is not a vegan cookbook, nor is it gluten-free, paleo, etc. It does offer ideas on how to modify some recipes to make them fit different diets, though, if you are an adherent of any of those.
Overall, this was a fun and colorful book. I look forward to trying out some of the recipes!

A vibrant and clear cookbook exploring how balancing our chakras through nutrition can increase overall wellbeing. The first part of this cookbook is an interesting and straightforward introduction to chakras, with a handy breakdown to the types of food which nourish each one. The second part contains recipes which included simple and clear instructions, good labelling for food allergies, and colourful accompanying pictures. A lot of the recipes I had not come across before and it was a great collection of healthy and delicious drinks and meals. Would particularly recommend this book to someone who is new to the chakras but is interested in holistic wellbeing and wants to explore chakras.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this cookbook!

FEED YOUR CHAKRAS is an incredible and easy to understand resource to learn how to nourish your chakras and promote holistic wellbeing. Even as someone who knows quite a bit about chakras and nutrition, I still found this very valuable! In addition to the vibrant, mouthwatering recipes, I liked and appreciated how the author also mentions crystals, yoga poses, affirmations, and other simple tools to guide each chakra into balance, thus benefiting the parts of self, body and life the chakra pertains to. The recipes can be easily tailored to fit your dietary needs.

I can’t wait to get my hands on my own physical copy and start cooking such gorgeous meals!

Much gratitude to Wellfleet Press and NetGalley for the arc in exchange for honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Wellfleet Press for an ARC of this book.

Wow! This book was so much more than what I was expecting, not only does it have great recipes complete with pictures, but it also includes the crystals that would be best for each chakra. This book is a wealth of information and I will be buying a copy as well. Highly recommend!

Feed Your Chakras focuses on the seven energy centers, meditation, and recipes that will help maintain your balance. The colors and illustrations are beautiful in the cookbook. A very beautifully written book that goes into great detail and you would want to reread multiple times.

The sections are Part 1: Chakras 101, Part II: Recipes, Breakfast, Starters, Soups, and Salads, Mains, & Snacks and Treats.

Part 1: Chakras provides information of the concepts of chakras. Each chakra goes in depth on the chakra, the different characteristics, how to fuel that chakra, crystals, yoga poses, affirmations, and ways to support the chakra. There is a lost of depth in information with lists of food and meal plan examples. There are images of the yoga poses as well as a description of how to do each pose. The book is very thorough on each chakra and the benefits that they provide.

Part 2: Recipes on how to support and balance your chakras. There are recipes that are dairy free, gluten free, grain free, paleo, vegan, and vegetarian. The recipes are very easy to read and follow along. Each recipe says what chakra(s) it helps support. The recipes also provide different ways to customize the food.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this!!
Not only is this brilliantly illustrated and laid out - but it is jam packed full of info! But never in an overwhelming way! It has so much info in this book, and I loved the opening chapter revealing more about the individual chakras. It was so easy to digest the info - and is a great book to dip in and out of, and reference specific items at a time.
The recipes are just a bonus!
Really really recommend!!

A compact reference book packed chock-full of tips and information. No filler here! For each chakra, we get suggestions on key food group(s) to focus on, specific foods that are particularly great fits, considerations about food color, a comprehensive list of chakra-supporting foods, an a week-long sample meal plan. PLUS a page each on the following for that specific chakra: crystals, yoga poses, affirmations, and more ways to support. Wow. This is much more than what I expected based on the title (I took it literally to just be talking about food...this is about feeding your chakras in every way!). I already have a lot of books that are either all about chakras, or contain sections on chakras, and I still found a lot to love about this little book. In fact, that made me love it more, because as I said - it has a ton of info but none of the filler, so everything is quick and easy to find. I'll be buying myself a copy when it comes out.

I was particularly excited to come across this book because I'm realizing I need to help strengthen my root chakra. The suggestions made immediate sense - eat more protein, especially red meat if you're a meat-eater (I am). Eat more beets (I love 'em!). Drink hibiscus tea - I've got some in the cupboard that I used to drink every day and had fallen off the wagon. These are easy adjustments, along with spending some time in nature, and doing tree pose. (How about tree pose while in nature? That sounds lovely!)

A special shout-out of appreciation to the fact that the recipes are all labeled according to whether they are dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, paleo, vegetarian, vegan, etc. And nearly all of them are dairy-free and gluten-free. Most are vegetarian. Plenty fall into the other categories. So purchase with confidence that you can actually benefit from the recipes, if you fall into any of these categories.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this eARC for unbiased review. This review will be cross-posted to my social media accounts closer to the book release date.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this book! It was such a lovely little book to go through, and I loved all the colours and illustrations throughout the book. For someone who has not read about chakras before, I found the beginning of the book very useful in going over what each of the chakras entails. I also liked how each chakra section had other ways to help this specific chakra, including the yoga poses. I have not had a chance to try any of the recipes yet, but I am very excited to try quite a few!

This is quite a thorough book for those who want to nourish their chakras. I don’t really follow this type of book much but I found it quite well rounded, with information about chakras and yoga poses, affirmations, foods, essential oils and more to support each of them. The second half of the book is recipes, and there is a large selection of vegan, gluten free, paleo and many more categories to provide lots of options for everyone. There are beautiful colorful photos of about a third of the recipes, and they all incorporate healthy whole foods. No nutritional information is provided.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.

Feed Your Chakras : Recipes to Restore & Balance Your Energy Centers : This is a beautiful guidebook filled with information on how to refuel your energy centres. As well as the many food recipes there are yoga exercises and poses to help you remove blockages and raise your chakra levels. The chakras regulate so many things so keeping them balanced is very important so meditation, mindfulness and well being are also included in this guide. It is beautifully structured and easy to read. I especially love the inclusion of crystals and affirmations. Overall an excellent book.

I really feel like this is something I will come back to time and time again. It was a great refresher on the Chakras and what they do in your body. I loved the meals and the yoga poses to incorporate into sequences to cleanse each chakra to make sure they are open and flowing. This was so informational and there are so many recipes that I can't wait to try.
Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for an early copy.
